This post may be in the wrong area. I wasn't sure quite where to put it, since it really isn't a question about authenticating a particular item. Mods, please move it if it should be somewhere else!

I was wondering if anyone had ever used the service through My Poupette to have an auction or pictures/authenticated? I was wondering about their experiences with that, turnaround time, etc., and whether or not it seems like a good idea? Are there other authentication services that people like?

If you do a search, you'll find some discussions about mypoupette and also caroldiva. I've used both with much success. However, after I found the Purse Forum, I haven't needed to use their services because everyone here knows so much! No need to pay for their services if I can get people's opinions here for free.

I used them once to authenticate a Fendi Spy bag. It took them a few days to do it and they said it was a fake. They didn't go into any details at all, just that it was a fake. But, like the previous poster said, you can just use the Authenticate this here in the forums.

Thanks for the replies, everyone. I have asked for authentications here, and the TPFers who authenticate LV are great! I very much respect their opinions. But I am super-paranoid, having just purchased my first LV on eBay. I have bought lots of other bags on eBay, but I am really nervous with LV, just because the faking is so incredibly rampant, and sometimes hard to tell, especially from pictures only. I have been reading all these threads about people who have had a bag for years only to find out it was a fake!

I thought it would be worth $5 for a second opinion (and really for peace of mind, since I am _almost_ 100% sure it's real) so I submitted the auction listing I won to My Poupette (I haven't received the bag yet). It's been a few days, though, and I haven't heard anything back. I know it's the holiday season, but I submitted the auction on Wednesday. I even left a message on their voicemail. I was wondering if anyone else who had used them found it could take a while to get a reply. I never got any kind of confirmation of my submission or anything.

It sounds like this is happening alot, its also happened with me in the past. I would check out the ebay sub forum, there are some interesting topics on there about this :smile:

I have...they take forever and they usually respond with "with the given pictures, it appears to be real to us", which doesn't really make me feel all that confident. I trust the people on this forum MUCH more!

I've had a bag authenticated from them, but that was because I harassed them. I sent them a request and they didn't do anything for a full 3 days! :cursing: Luckily, they gave me a refund and a free authentication. I will NEVER use MyPoupette again. Caroldiva was much more efficient and personable.

MyPoupette is not always 100% correct. They OKed on a LV for me on Ebay (way before I know of tPF), and the boutique reject service request b/c it's fake *rant* I've also know several other people's auth item were deemed fake....their error margin is getting bigger and bigger.
